    The Crate BX-100 is not little, but fits this bill perfectly. It even has a 15” speaker, like the old Polytones.
    I use one. Its only issue is weight. Up until just a couple years ago this was a non-issue. But age does take a toll lol

    The amp had a successor, the BFX100. Same amp, but with built-in effects. Most of which are lame, but the reverb’s not bad. I’m considering finding one of these, and building a lightweight cabinet for it.

    I rehearsal on a Laney LX15B, I even played a gig with.
    For the guitar it's really powerful and warm, for the bass ironically it doesn't work very well (a very harsh sound).

    If the OP could swing an amp slightly wider (16.5”) but still lightweight, the Fender Rumble 40 is a great gigging option as a jazz guitar amp. It’s clear, well balanced, and has enough headroom to support guitar for a large group (6-7 players).
